Friday Blog
I feel good...I don't know why, I just do. It may have something to do with a new radio station, or the Red Sox being two games away from another ring.
Usually in the fall I get washed over with waves of morose and nostalgia...not this year. It's like I was on Air Force One and was all like " get off my plane" and then I kicked myself off.
I wonder what Indiana Jones 4 is gonna be like...
Anyone seen 3:10 to Yuma? That movie kicked ass.
I wouldn't mind having a little party...I gotta tell you though, I'm Octoberfest-ed out. I kinda hate Sam Adams beer, but always like the October Fest. I ended up buying way too much of it lately, and started drinking it spitefully like it was Keystone Light...not good to do, because Sam will rock your socks off.
Is it Breast Awareness Month?
What's everyone doing tonight?
Dude, I'm wicked happy today too. I think the Radio 104 has a lot to do with it. I've been rockin' at my desk all morning. This is the coolest thing to ever happen to CT radio. Best thing in CT as a whole in a long time too. :) Kick ass.
We're doing the same as always down at my place tonight. Haven't talked to Jay/Kirsten, but Shelby might be by and maybe Jenn. We're gonna rock Guitar Hero hopefully. That game exceeded all my (admittedly low) expectations. I thought it would be dumb, but man, does it rock. I didn't realize you got to play actual songs. Cool songs! We got 2 guitars too, so one person plays rhythm and the other is lead. Not competitive either..we play cooperative. Sometimes I just get the urge to flip it on and put 'Can't You Hear Me Knockin'' on just to play those sweet licks a few times. :) Come by if you feel like it. You're always welcome over. Got a 30-rack of Miller Lite so you don't necessarily have to BYOB.
Dude, it's amazing how many people are genuinely happy that a radio station changed it's format back. I mean, I just assumed I'd tell people and they'd be like "oh really? cool." and I'd be all embarassed for caring so much, however, that is not the case. It's like the Northeasternish/Central part of CT got a little bit of their soul back.
Now if the oldies station would just stop sucking...
Hey Timbo, since you're a east coast transplant, you might be interested to know that Radio 104 is online too!
I am a WCCC man. Always have been always will be.
Actually I am a Sirius man these days.
Lithium 24 on Sirius = 104.1 without commercials.
I wanna party with this guy!
1. Admiral Edward Russell's 17th-Century throwdown
Think you can drink like a sailor? Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what that truly means.
The record for history's largest cocktail belongs to British Lord Admiral Edward Russell. In 1694, he threw an officer's party that employed a garden's fountain as the punch bowl.
The concoction? A mixture that included 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of Malaga wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg.
A series of bartenders actually paddled around in a small wooden canoe, filling up guests' cups. Not only that, but they had to work in 15-minute shifts to avoid being overcome by the fumes and falling overboard.
The party continued nonstop for a full week, pausing only briefly during rainstorms to erect a silk canopy over the punch to keep it from getting watered down. In fact, the festivities didn't end until the fountain had been drunk completely dry.
| DAMMIT, 104 being a gangsta bitch station was the reason I moved away.
And Ryan, that is the best alcoholic fountain story I have ever heard.
I also felt good today, weird. I remember noting that I felt good after
I peed and I was opening the fridge, that exact moment. |
